Today, we talk about the broader value of Corporate Treasury, and how can it go from “Support Function” to strategic business partner.
To walk us through that topic, we welcome Kurt Smith. Kurt is the Director of Marengo Capital and Vice President and Technical Director of ACTA - the Australian Corporate Treasury Association.
Kurt has a Diverse professional background including banking as a Head of Derivative Trading, fund management as an Investment Strategist, Consultant with Marengo Capital and of course, Corporate Treasurer
Marengo Capital is a corporate advisory company which specializes in creating and managing value. Kurt’s sweet spot is in strategic treasury and corporate finance, ensuring that capital is sourced, structured and allocated in a value-creating way.
And well for the Australian Corporate Treasury Association, there is a whole section in the episode dedicated to it, so I won’t spoil too much ;)
In the episode of today, expect to learn:
- What Risk Appetite and Risk Strategy truly means
- How could Treasury be much more strategic rather than focusing only on Operational tasks
- What metrics such as Return On Invested Capital, Cash Conversion Cycle and Weighted Average Cost of Capital are?
- How could Treasurers influence those?
- The role and missions of the Australian Corporate Treasury Association
And much, much more!
Again, a fantastic guest that is truly passionate about Treasury, we hope you will enjoy the episode as much as we do.
